The bill amends Section 162 of Title 58 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the appointment of agents by nonresident representatives in probate procedures. The key changes include modifying the residency requirement for agents, allowing them to reside anywhere in the state rather than being limited to the county of appointment. Additionally, the language of the statute is updated to be gender-neutral, replacing terms like "his" and "him" with "his or her" and "himself or herself."

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that any legal process served on the appointed agent will have the same legal effect as if it were served on the executor, administrator, or guardian personally within the state. The writing that appoints the agent must include the agent's address and be filed with the district court where the appointment is made. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
